Shipboard Allowance Determination,

Abstract

This study evaluates a proposal for coding military essentiality and for varying shipboard support by this essentiality. The objective is to determine the feasibility of using historical CASREP (Casualty Reporting System) data to code item essentiality and to determine the impact of this coding in an essentiality variable support level COSAL (Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List) model. The impact was measured in terms of range of items stocked, investment, effectiveness, and reductions in CASREP requisitions. The study showed that the approach is technically feasible given the availability of required data. Although slightly decreasing overall support, the approach did increase support for high essentiality items. However, the validity of the assigned essentiality codes could not be ascertained. To do so will require review by qualified Fleet and/or technical personnel. Within the current investment levels, the approach did not appreciably reduce CASREP requisitions. (Author)
